I typed all of my wife's information as she provided it to me and hand lettered the "N/A" portions of the hard copy of the I-130a form for my wife who is overseas.  Would it be correct for me to complete section 6  as the person who is preparing this form?  Seems obvious but I don't want a simple mistake that is easily avoided.  Also, should I write anything in the signature line such as "N/A, overseas applicant" or just leave the signature line blank?  What about the date below the signature line?  Should I still put in the date for an unsigned application?  Finally, on Section 9 for additional information it says to type or write the name at the top and sign and date at the bottom.  Should I just write in her full name at the top and not do anything about the signature or date at the bottom?

Nah its fine,

 

I didnt write it.

 

If you read the instructions for I-130A it clearly mentions that the petitioner can fill it on beneficiary’s behalf and no signature is required

 

 

First page of  https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/files/form/i-130instr.pdf note 1

 

Quote

If you are filing for your spouse, he or she must complete and sign Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary. If your spouse is overseas, Form I-130A must still be completed, but your spouse does not have to sign Form I-130A. Form I-130A must be submitted with Form I-130.

 

 

 

Additional information is only valid if you have some.

 

Some advice: use a PDF editor like PDF Expert on Mac or PDF Xchange for charity/education, (basically previous version for free)

 

It fills the other fields from previous input

I did read those instructions.  Actually the instructions you stated above in bold say that they don't have to sign it but the first line states that "he or she must complete".  Nowhere does it say that the spouse can do it for them.  That is why I was asking.

Part 6. Item 7.a in the form itself.
